Home position changes for different starting head positions
-
I've recently upgraded from RRF 2 to 3. I updated my config and it mostly is working, but I'm having problems with the home position. I have a delta printer.
At first I couldn't tell why it wasn't right, it seemed to just change sometimes. Then I realized that the position it thinks is home is changing depending on the position of the print head when it starts the homing process.
For example:
If the print head is all the way at the close to the top when the machine turns on, and I home, I get Z: 365mm (close to the correct value)
But If I turn the machine off, move the head down some distance, maybe 100mm, then turn it on again, then home, I get something like Z440mm
If I do the same and move it more or less, I get different values for z home every timeSo there seams to be no way for me to get a consistent home position.
I have a delta printer with a Duet 2 wifi.
I have a z probe configured, but it is not normally attached. Not sure if that is relevant here, I see the same issue weather or not the z probe is attached. It doesn't fit on my print head really so I just use it for calibration then take it off. The top homing has been accurate enough for me to get a consistent z starting height. I have run delta calibration again since upgrading to RRF 3 and it seamed to run correctly.
I've tried v3.1.1 and v3.2 beta4.1, both have the same issue for me.
Thank you for your help!

@cpirius said in Home position changes for different starting head positions:
; Endstops M574 X1 S1 P"xstop" M574 Y1 S1 P"ystop" M574 Z1 S1 P"zstop"
Your endstops are defined as low end endstops, but the delta homes to the high end. Change X1 Y1 Z1 to X2 Y2 Z2

Yep, that fixed it. Thank you!
I must have copied the new format from the example in the config upgrade guide and forgot to change the 1 -> 2's.
